NSU master's programs coming to Miller

August 06, 2008|From staff reports

Last week, Northern State University announced an agreement to begin offering two master's programs in Gettyburg. Now NSU has reached the same agreement with the school district in Miller. The Miller partnership involves the same two master's programs - school administration and classroom teaching. The partnership with the Miller School District was announced by NSU president Laurie Nichols. As with Gettysburg, the two programs will begin this fall. The new program, or cohort, will be offered on weekends and evenings. Participants may earn a master's degree in two years. "Under the leadership of Dr. Tom Hawley with the School of Education this is another example of our commitment to serving our region," said Nichols. "We appreciate the opportunity extended to us by Superintendent (Mike) Ruth and are delighted to provide master's courses at a time and location more convenient for area educators." There are still a few openings in the cohort, which is scheduled to begin late this month. For more information contact Tammy Griffith at (605) 626-2558 or griffith@northern.edu.
